The internet gave me a lot of ideas on other people electric conversions.Some of the posts dated a few years back. Back then they said to use a Electric fly 46 rim fire electric motor. finding out this motor was no longer available. The motor to replace it was now a Spektrum Avian 4260-480KV Brushless motor,so that is the motor that I used. After buying a lot different prop adapters I found the Spektrum SPMXAMA4906 prop adapter 42mm was the one to use. The shaft was a little to big to work with the clutch hub,so this had to be turned on my lathe.Here are a few pictures.
